I have last year’s House Beautiful article “101 Makeover Ideas,” dog-eared, highlighted, marked-up, and otherwise loved to death and stowed away in my bedside table drawer. I refer to it all the time for new ideas and inspiration. I was ridiculously excited to stumble upon this brand new list of 101 Makeover Ideas for 2009. Have at it!

I soooo want that mixer! Is that one from WS cheaper than the kitchenaid?
It’s actually KitchenAid’s Pro version-it’s $100 more than the traditional KitchenAid model-here is the link!

I love the red mixer! It’s my favorite go-to accent color. I never use mixers, though. I just mix by hand. I bet I might use that mixer if I had it though. 🙂
You have such fun posts! I am flipping through these 101 things and WOWWY! Ggreat ideas. I too want the red mixer Beth 🙂 and the colored glass knobs for the kitchen cabinets would be perfect in my little house. All in good time 😉
I’m on my way to get my list! Thanks
